A1 Heritage Breed Farms is located in west central Ohio, close to Indiana, not far from I-75. Like us on Facebook (HeritageBreedFarms) and keep up with us via our website. We started our farm for several key reasons. First and foremost we wanted to be sustainable. We feel that God has entrusted us as stewards of his creation. Being sustainable keeps our land and animals in the best possible health and returns the land in better shape than when we received it. Secondly, we wanted to raise the best tasting food because food should never have additives if its authentically good! Third, we wanted our children to grow up on a farm—who wouldn’t? Lastly, and most importantly, we wanted food that was good for you. Raising a young and growing family, eating healthy food was a no brainer which is why we grow everything using organic practices. All of these decisions lead us to raising the heritage breeds of: Dexter cattle, Large Black and Red Wattle hogs, Buckeye chickens, Olberhasi goats, Katahdin sheep, Bronze breasted turkeys, and several other mixed breeds of animals, most of which follow the heritage breed lines. We currently have pastured freezer pork available. There is lots of bacon on our hogs—32 pounds on average! No wonder they call large blacks “bacon hogs.” These are our personal favorites, they taste EXCELLENT. In our opinion, there is no comparison in taste and flavor! Our Red Wattles are also featured pork on Slow Food USA's Ark of Taste. Grass Fed Dexter beef is the fastest selling item on our farm. Dexters have excellent marbling for grass fed animals and have about a 20% larger rib eye for its size (my favorite cut! ) They are extremely docile and small. If you are used to ordering a half, then you want a whole; if you are used to a quarter, you want half a Dexter. This allows you to get all the premium cuts of meat without breaking the bank! Pastured poultry. Please order ahead because we get our chicks in late winter/early spring. We can raise as many meat birds as our customers want, but we have to receive the orders early to get our preparations done ahead of summer. We also have pastured eggs layed by our favorite bird, the Buckeyes! What a great bird, raised in the same great state as its namesake! Delivery available Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, Indianapolis and closer. As always thank you for your business and remember to eat local and eat fresh! God Bless.

Slow growing, old fashioned British breeds make some of the juiciest, most flavorful grass fed beef around. Meat rich with beefy flavor and fine, juicy texture – all on a grass only diet – special enough to be included on the Slow Foods Ark of Taste! Our herd of rare American Milking Devons are about as close to their British roots as can be. We began our work raising cattle as a direct response to animal welfare, food quality and environmental issues. We follow non-certified organic methods and the cattle eat only grass and hay grown here at home. Our cows live a happy, natural life of grazing with their buddies, with plenty of spring water and free-choice shelter from cold, rain and blazing sun. In beef cattle, there is a documented relationship between high butterfat content in the milk and superior marbling in the beef. And, a scientific reason the flavor and texture of the meat from smaller breeds given longer to mature is so much finer. We have taken great pains to resist the temptation to breed for increased size and beef yield thereby preserving the rich milk that made these cows such a treasure in their native Devonshire, England. You’ve heard of Devonshire cream, haven’t you? Well these girls invented it… We are located just about an hour north of Pittsburgh, and 10 minutes from Boardman, Ohio. We have limited amount of beef available each summer and are excited to share it with you. Don't miss out; when it’s gone, it’s gone until next year! Auburn Meadow Farm, Jackie Cleary, 164 Bedford Road, West Middlesex PA 16159. (412) 600-5826. Autumn Harvest Farm, owned and operated by Marcus and Beth Ladrach and family, has grown as a family farm since 1946. We raise All Natural grass-fed beef, vegetables, and hay. All 230 acres of the farm have been certified organic by the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) since 1996. All crops and pastures are certified organic. Located in the rich agricultural landscape of Wayne County, Ohio, Autumn Harvest Farm is only 30 minutes from Medina, 45 minutes from Akron or Canton, less than an hour from Cleveland, and an hour and a half from Columbus. Autumn Harvest Farm specializes in raising All Natural Angus cross-bred beef cattle on certified organic pastures with no grain or hormones. A rotational grazing program regularly moves the cattle through paddocks containing grass mixed with clover and alfalfa so that the animals have a nutritionally rich blend of pasture crops to eat. We take pride in raising beef calves up to full market weight on a 100% grass-fed diet, an effort that is reflected in the excellent quality and taste of the beef. Grass-fed beef has rightfully gained a reputation for having higher nutritional value, less fat, and fewer calories that grain-fed beef, and we have found that their rotational grazing pattern contributes to the health of the cattle as well as to the health of the farm. Farmers Markets: We attend the Downtown Wooster Farmers Market, June through October, Saturdays 8am- 12:00pm. Grocery Stores: We sell our products at Local Roots Market, 140 S Walnut Street in downtown Wooster, OH. Autumn Harvest Farm, Marcus and Beth Ladrach, 5109 Rice Hill Road, Wooster OH 44691.

Our beef is from our herd of purebred American Lowline
Angus. These cattle are the definition of a heritage breed as they are
from a herd whose traits have not been altered by selective breeding
since the 1940s. Cattle prior to the 1940s were well adapted to marbling
when raised in pastures or on range without the use of grain. Thus our
genetic line provides great tasting, tender well-marbled beef that alters
many of our customer's perceptions of what grass fed beef can be. They
are also smaller, more docile and easygoing than many of today's breeds
and hybrids, which makes them ideal for working with closely on a daily
basis. It also leads to a smaller split-quarter than with hybrids which
can reduce the total cost to purchase from us Beech Meadow Farm, Michael Koob, 7750
High Point Road, Thornville OH 43076. (614) 289-8908. Berger's Green Vista Farm is owned and operated by the Berger family with the health and comfort of the animals as a top priority. We are a 100% grassfed-to-finish, all-natural beef farm. Located in the rolling countryside of northeast Ohio, Green Vista offers a local source of gourmet 100% grassfed beef along with antibiotic-, GM- free or organically raised pork. We are a short drive from Medina, Akron, Canton and Cleveland and just over an hour from Columbus. After outgrowing our ability to produce adequate pork for our needs, the hogs now come from local Amish neighbors who raise the hogs to fit the specifications we have established, including, but not limited to: no antibiotic or steroid type substance (ractopamine) use and all non-GMO feed. The program helps to keep their small farms viable and for their efforts we are extremely happy to offer them a consistent premium over the fluctuating market prices. See our website for more information. We attend the Medina Farmers Market, Memorial Day weekend through October, Saturdays from 9 AM to 1 PM. Our beef and pork are also available in retail form or as freezer meats during regular business hours from Whitefeather Meats (www.whitefeathermeats.com) in Creston, OH. We find no reason to use artificial fertilizers, hormones, antibiotics, insecticides or herbicides. We pasture all the animals as much as possible year around. Our cattle are rotated through the pastures on a regular basis to the benefit of both plants and animals. When extreme conditions of cold or mud require us to temporarily bring the cattle onto a straw pack, they receive dry stored forages.

OH 44432. Fax: (330) 482-0767. Callan Cattle Co. markets Texas Longhorn cattle, America’s healthiest breed of cattle, live, or in see-thru, frozen vac-packs. CCC doesn’t use extra hormones, or antibiotics. Texas Longhorn cattle multiplied in the Southwest without Man’s help or interference from the 1520s to the 1930s. They were the first bovines on the American Continent, brought by the Spanish for use as oxen (tractors to pull their carts). Their survivability in the wild was Nature-Bred into their DNA with 400 years of natural selection. Callan Cattle Co. Texas Longhorns eat grass, browse or locally baled hay from chemical-free fields. CCC Longhorns are efficient grass and browse-eating cattle. Texas Longhorns turn 6 pounds of grass into a pound of muscle gain without the excess back fat, common to other breeds of cattle, that needs to be trimmed off. Similar to Bison. Longhorn’s low trim/back fat on the carcass hook in the processor’s cooler means you get more of what you pay for when priced by the hanging weight. And yes, Longhorn beef is tender. We’ve had compliments on our beeves for 20 years. Give us a call. We’re five miles north of Newark, OH on State Route 657 (7688 Marion Road), between Johnstown, Granville and Utica, OH, and 35 to 45 minutes from Columbus, OH.

We have a dairy herd along with beef, pork, lamb, broilers, turkeys and layers. We direct market all of the products that we produce on the farm. We recently started to make Raw Milk cheese from our own milk. The dairy, beef, and lambs are 100% grassfed. They do not receive any grain. The pork, broilers, turkeys and layers all are raised on pasture and are given supplemental feed. The broilers and turkeys are moved every 24 hours to another section of pasture. The layers are free ranged within the paddocks that we have the cattle in. We have very heavy clay soil that at one time was a swamp (The Great Black Swamp). It has been drained off since the second half of the 19th century. What was left behind was a soil that is extremely high in naturally occurring minerals. Through proper utilization of grass farming we capitalize on the available nutrients for grazing animals, which in return makes the final product more nutrient dense. It has been said that food grown on heavy clay soil is some of the best tasting in the world. Find out for yourself today. Order some cheese or stop by the farm and buy some meat to try for yourself. We sell the raw milk cheese and meat off the farm. The meat is in nice sized small packages and the cheese is in approximately 3/4 lb packages. Bigger blocks of cheese are available, just ask.

The pigs live outdoors with shelters in the pasture and are free to root and play at all times. They receive some kitchen scraps but are mostly fed a soy-free feed along with the grass they eat. We raise layer chickens who get to roam throughout the pastures and woods most of the day. They are locked up at night for their protection from predators. Depending on the size of the flock, we may have eggs for sale. We supplement the chickens' diet with soy-free feed.

Products from the garden are available during the growing season. We also make maple syrup and have it available year-round. We do four major events each year to encourage urban folks to visit the farm and see how food is raised. These include a Maple Sugar Festival in February, a Mushroom Hunt in April, a farm tour and taste of local food in July, and a Fall Harvest Festival in October.

In early November, our lambs are taken a short distance to an Ohio state-inspected butcher, where we work closely with our butcher to make sure that our lambs are processed according to our specifications. Throughout all of this, our animals are handled as gently and humanely as possible. In 2004, our farm enrolled in a conservation program overseen by the Lorain County Soil & Water Conservation District, and in 2010 we were awarded the Conservationist of the Year Award. This conservation program promotes sustainable farming practices that contribute to the health of our local rivers, lakes, and water supply. If you would like an email attachment with all of our pricing and ordering information, send us an email and let us know.

Located about 35 minutes northeast of Marietta, Ohio, we raise Black Angus cattle, known for its superior beef marbling characteristics. They fatten naturally (without grain) on the broad variety of fresh forages grown in our pastures. Although we are not certified 'Organic,' we follow organic principles in raising our cattle. We do not use any growth hormones, steroids, antibiotics, wormers, animal by-products, growth promoters, or feed additives. Our beeves are raised on pasture in the fresh air and sunlight. Ground meat is sold by the pound all year at the farm. We offer freezer beef twice each year – once in late spring/early summer, and again in early fall, timed with optimal pasture condition. We sell quarters, halves and wholes by hanging weight. The price includes processing, cutting, wrapping and freezing.
